    Reimagine Your Future with Jason Wang

    On the final episode of season 1 we sit down for an incredible conversation with Jason Wang. Jason shares openly about growing up in poverty, in a neighbourhood where he was exposed to drugs and violence from a very young age. He shares about being subjected to abuse as a child, and about the impact that all of these things had on his life and trajectory. It's easy to see how the result of it all was an aggravated robbery charge that left 15 year old Jason with a 12 year prison sentence.  What is so remarkable about Jason and his story is his resilience and determination throughout his life. Ultimately, this has led him to become entrepreneur in residence for Schmidt Futures. He has created and leads Freeworld, an organization with a mission of bringing high wage careers to millions of returning citizens across America so they can live fulfilling positive lives, prison-free.

    Seeing Is Believing with Chris Courchene

    This week we sit down with Chris Courchene. Chris comes from Manitoba, one of Canada’s prairie provinces. Growing up, his mother, an Indian Residential Schools Survivor, was in and out of incarceration. Learning from his surroundings, and doing what he needed to do to survive, Chris spent much of his adolescence in and out of incarceration as well. It was when he had his son that he ultimately determined to turn his life around. He shares about his experience of gang culture in Winnipeg in the 90’s, about the impact of residential schools on his mother, and in turn on his upbringing; and about what it meant for him to get the chance to turn his life around, and to have a positive impact on the community he came from.

    Resilient with Ky Peterson

    This week we sit down with Ky Peterson, a transgender man who was recently released from a women's prison in Georgia. Ky was charged, convicted, and sentenced to 20 years in prison for defending himself against a sexual assault. In 2011, while walking home one night Ky was attacked. In self-defense, he shot his assailant with a gun he carried for protection. This person ultimately died. A rape kit corroborated Ky's story, but nonetheless his claim of self-defense didn't stand, and he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. It was only after significant media attention and community outrage that Ky's sentence was reduced, and he was released. Ky shares about the challenges he faced as a trans man in the system, and also how his gender identity added an additional layer of challenge in his re-entry journey.  For more information on Ky: Support Ky on Patreon Twitter: @KyPeterson5 For more information on the Field: Instagram: @the.field.podcast Website: thefieldpodcast.com Support the show on Patreon And if you enjoyed this episode, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

    Honour your Promise with Joseph Lauren

    This week we have Joseph Lauren here in The Field. Joseph was the first Canadian ever to be criminally convicted and serve a federal prison sentence for insider trading. A former Bay Street lawyer, Joseph’s insider trading career lasted for many years, during which he made millions of dollars. The scheme cost him more than 3 years in prison, and cost the life of his best friend and co-accused. After his release, he struggled to find employment, being turned down repeatedly due to his criminal record. Ultimately, he landed at Restorative Justice Housing Ontario, where has dedicated his life to housing formerly incarcerated people.

    Opportunity is Everything with David McCallum

    This week we are so excited to have David McCallum here in The Field. David was arrested at 16 years old, and served 29 years in prison for a kidnapping and murder he did not commit. In October 2014, he was finally exonerated. One of the things that struck me when speaking with David was that so many of the same challenges that plague people who have been incarcerated, apply equally to those who are exonerated. The layers of stigma and the societal barriers remain.
